Pride Week 2019 to be celebrated April 8–13
Pride Week at the University of Maine is an annual tradition to celebrate LGBTQ+ students that includes events for everyone — from members of the LGBTQ+ community, to those questioning their identity, to allies hoping to learn more.
“LGBTQ+ students are present, living and thriving on campus, and our goal with this annual initiative is to provide visibility and support to this vital community here at UMaine,” says Jane Pappas, a graduate assistant with LGBTQ+ Services.
At UMaine, LGBTQ+ Services and Wilde Stein collaborate with other campus partners to recognize Pride Week with educational and social events celebrating the LGBTQ+ community on campus.
This year, events held April 8–13 will include a Pride Week Climbing Night, Pride Week Trivia, a Wilde Stein 45th Anniversary Celebration and more, culminating in the 15th annual Drag Show at 7 p.m. April 13 in the Collins Center for the Arts.
The full schedule for the week is online.
